Choosing Your Modules

Please follow the guidelines below

Undergraduate Modules

Guidelines for Completing the Module Choice Form

The list of available modules will inform you which modules are expected to run in the next semester. You can choose modules from Levels 1, 2 or 3(final year) and either core or elective modules.

When selecting modules use the following guidelines:

  • You may register for a maximum of 30 ECTS credits.  You may also register for ‘Business English for Exchange Students’ (which carries 5 ECTS subject to revalidation of the BA programme, confirmation available from May/ June 2012). You may also, if you wish, replace one business subject with a second foreign language module.
  • English is not compulsory. Students are admitted to RBS London on the assumption that they have an adequate level of English. Ask your home institution if they require you to take English.
  • You must specify 4 approved alternatives in the "Alternative" section of your module choice form. If this section is not completed your application will be returned. It is important to have named alternatives in case your first choices are unavailable or there is a time clash.
  • Indicate compulsory modules. If your home university requires you to take a particular module you must make this clear on your form.
  • Prioritise your choices. List in order of preference the modules on the Module Choice Form.
  • Check list of available modules carefully. Ensure you choose modules that are running during the semester you wish to study them.

Please ensure that you get approval from your home university for ALL modules, including the alternative choices.


Postgraduate Modules

Guidelines for Completing the Module Choice Form:

  • You may register for a maximum of 30 ECTS credits. Please refer to the list of available modules to make your selection.
  • English is not compulsory. Students are admitted to RBS London on the assumption that they have an adequate level of English.  "Business English for Exchange Students" is not available at postgraduate level for credit, however, English support classes are offered (please see application guide
  • You must specify 4 approved alternatives in the "Alternative" section of your module choice form. If this section is not completed your application will be returned. 
  • Indicate clearly if a module is compulsory for you i.e. if your home university requires you to take a particular module you must make this clear on your form.
  • Please also prioritise your choices. This means that you must list in order of preference the modules on the Module Choice Form.
  • Our web site offers detailed Postgraduate Module Descriptions and to help you when making your choices.

Make sure that you get approval from your home university for ALL modules, including the alternative choices.

Avoid Timetable Clashes:

  • Although you can choose from any of the modules please try to structure your choices roughly by programme/pathway
    as this would cut down on timetabling issues
  • Avoid selecting more than one of a similar specialist module

Important Notes

  • The running of each module is dependent on sufficient numbers of students applying. If not enough students request a particular module by the deadline then that module may be cancelled
  • Every effort will be made to assign you to your first choice(s) each semester. If, however, a class is full, then you will be assigned to your next highest choice.
  • We cannot guarantee that students will be given their first choices.  Therefore please remember that you must indicate 4 approved suitable alternatives on your form. You may be given any of these 4 modules if your first choices are not available. It is important that they fit with your studies and have been approved by your home university. If your form does not state these 4 alternatives it will not be accepted and it will be returned.
  • Once you submitted your module choice, you will not be allowed to alter your selection. It is therefore imperative that you consider your options carefully. Only in very exceptional cases will minor changes be made during the first week of classes.
  • Please note that if you would like to withdraw from a module this must be done within the first three weeks of classes.

"Having completer most of my studies in America, studying in a British school really broadened my perspective on how different education systems work, and allowed me to integrate my skills into a whole new context. Living in a new country really forces you to think outside the box and understand different cultures and points of view"
